Creating distributor contracts

Distributor contracts are used when you are purchasing items from a distributor either directly (independent of a manufacturer) or against a manufacturer price where the contract is associated with a manufacturer contract.

When you are purchasing items directly from a distributor, the cost of the purchased items is negotiated between you and the distributor.

When you are purchasing items against a manufacturer price, you can associate a manufacturer contract with the distributor contract. In this case, the distributor honors the manufacturer price of an item and then applies a pricing identifier (markup or discount) to the purchase.
